HC Deb 09 December 1970 vol 808 c125W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will make a statement on the establishment of the new Select Committee on Expenditure.

Mr. Whitelaw

I am, of course, aware of the importance of this matter and am concerned that the Committee should be set up with the minimum of delay. I cannot say exactly when that will be, however, because discussions are still taking place.
